Report: Kevin Costner is officially Jonathan Kent aka Pa Kent for Zack Snyder’s “Superman”…

Leave a comment

Well, look like everyone’s prediction on who Kevin Costner will play in the new “Superman” was right after all. Costner WILL play Jonathan Kent in the new “Superman” movie. So this means Costner will be starring alongside, Diane Lane, as Superman’s adopted parents. Interesting pairing! I don’t think Kevin and Diane ever starred in a movie together, correct me if I’m wrong.

See the full report, here.

Only thing I’m wondering is, how long will Pa Kent last in the new “Supes” flick? Will Costner be in the movie for a small role or throughout the entire film? I just hope they won’t kill him off like they did in “Superman: The Movie”.

I know this movie is getting a lot of negativity because Zack Snyder is directing, but I have 100% support and trust everything he does for the new “Superman” movie. I know this film is getting people worried, but I think we’ll finally get a great “Superman” movie that everyone will be happy with.

I know people hate Zack Snyder’s film making style, his “slo mo” technique, but that “slo mo” technique will be useful with Superman if you think about it. I bet that’s why Chris Nolan and WB’s wanted Snyder because of his “Slo mo” technique, he can be creative with it for the Superman character when he’s flying.

Now that they have Superman/Clark Kent, Pa, and Ma Kent casted. Next they need to cast someone for Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Lana Lang, Lex Luthor (if they decide to use Lex), and a choice of villain.

After they cast the actors, then they have to find someone to score the music for the movie, and I still say John Williams should score it.

This is gonna be a good movie, I think.

Report: Warner Bros. interested in Kevin Costner for major character in the next “Superman” movie…

Leave a comment

Well here’s the next Superman casting pick! Warner Bros. and the rest of the Superman crew, are very interested in Kevin Costner, for a major role. Nobody said what character he would be playing in the “Superman” franchise, but the most popular pick is people think he’s going to play Jonathan Kent, Clark’s adoptive human father.

See the report here at, Deadline.

Yeah, I agree that Costner would be great for Pa Kent, but honestly, Costner has a Lex Luthor vibe to him. Keep in mind that Costner played quite a lot of villains in movies over the years. “Mr. Brooks”, “3000 Miles to Graceland” and maybe a few others he played the bad guy. I know people don’t want them using Lex Luthor again, but I think they will. Costner does play a villain very well, almost psychotic and mean. He might be great for Luthor. Don’t be surprised if they do decide to use Luthor again.

Report: Will Ursa be the main villain for the next “Superman” movie???

Leave a comment

Superman’s undisclosed villain have been leaked to the web a couple of days ago. That villain happens to be Ursa. One of the three super-villains from “Superman: The Movie” and “Superman II”, who had General Zod and Non by her side. Ursa is that scary and evil looking woman, pictured above, who was originally played by, Sarah Douglas.

It is rumored that three different actresses are in the runners-up for the role, Alice Eve, Diane Kruger, and Rosamund Pike. Read the full article, here.

Today, Diane Kruger, just denied involvement with the role.

The character of Ursa have not yet been confirmed by Warner Bros. or Chris Nolan but I’m sure we’ll hear from them soon on whether this news is true or not.

Many Superman fans hate this idea I’m noticing because some don’t want another Kryptonian as the villain. Honestly, I think having Ursa as the main villain for the next Superman movie a good idea. As long as they don’t have General Zod and Non by her side, it could be an original movie, and not be a remake of Superman II. The Ursa character could be used more, as she wasn’t used much in the Superman comics, animated series, and the films.

Ursa is a character who hates men and she enjoys killing men. The only reason she teamed up with General Zod and Non, even if they are men is because they have similar powers as her. Superman having a female villain would be cool. I thought Ursa was a great character in “Superman II”, it’s one of those villains that makes you want to really hate. If they use Ursa for the next movie, they’ll probably make her sexier looking though.

BREAKING NEWS: Henry Cavill officially casted as Clark Kent/Superman!!!!

Leave a comment

Christopher Nolan have announced today that Superman have officially been casted. An unknown actor by the name of Henry Cavill have been officially chosen to play the role of Clark Kent and Superman for the upcoming “Superman” reboot by Warner Bros., Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan. As you can see Henry resembles Christopher Reeve, a little bit, they both look alike.

Deadline, reports.

Wow. Warner Bros., and Chris Nolan are hard at work on both “Superman”, and “Batman”. I’m impressed! That is called multi-tasking. First the Batman villains have been casted and now Superman have been casted. Now that we all know who Superman is, we will know who the “Superman” villains will be very soon! I can’t wait to see who the villains for “Superman” will be. Just like everyone else, I hope they won’t use Lex Luthor or General Zod again either. We want a fresh and new Superman villain. A villain that haven’t been used in films before, like Darkseid or Doomsday would be cool.

Thought: Who will be the main villains for Zack Snyder’s “Superman”???

Leave a comment

 

Now that we know the main villains for Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight: Rises”, we will soon know the villains for “Superman: The Man of Steel” by Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan/Warner Bros. I remember a while back they won’t be using General Zod, ’cause they shot down the rumors of General Zod this past year.

Look at this list of Superman enemies…

Predict which villains you think they will use. Here are my picks…

  • Brainiac
  • Doomsday
  • Lex Luthor (again)
  • Darkseid
  • Eradicator

I personally would like to see them use, Darkseid, the most. Imagine what Zack Snyder could do with the Darkseid character.

They haven’t even casted anybody for Superman yet, so we will know who will be playing Superman first before we know who the villains are. They’ll give us more Superman news soon, I hope.

Thought: Why has Christopher Nolan been quiet on Batman/Superman news lately?

Leave a comment

We all know that Christopher Nolan is hard at work at both Batman and Superman films for Warner Bros. but why has he been quiet on both films, you wonder? I think he’s keeping secrets and surprises from us that we shouldn’t know about yet.

So far, Chris has told us:

  • Superman – Zack Snyder has been hired director. Story will focus on the earlier days of Superman, mostly about Clark Kent. It will not be a remake of the earlier films and won’t be adapted from the comics of any kind.
  • Batman – Tom Hardy is set to play a main character, but didn’t say whether he will be playing a villain or a good guy character. There will be two female roles, one for female villain and the other for Bruce Wayne’s love interest. Several actresses have already been lined up for the actress roles. The film will also not be in 3-D. The Riddler will not be the villain.

That’s all the information we know so far.

Movie news will be slow around the Holiday season, so I’m sure Chris will tell us more in 2011, the new year. We still need to know the plots for both films and who the villains will be. We will know all that stuff soon. I know, I hate how they are not giving us more news, but it’s understandable, it’s hollywood.

Thought: Anne Hathaway as Lois Lane? Please not her!

Leave a comment

Rumors hit the internet, that Anne Hathaway could be the top contender to play Lois Lane in Christopher Nolan/Zack Snyder “Superman” for Warner Bros. My thoughts? I think that’s a bad choice. I like Anne Hathaway. She’s a good actress, but she won’t be good for Lois Lane.

I think the new Lois Lane should be similar to Margot Kidder’s Lois Lane from the earlier “Superman” movies. Margot Kidder obviously played the best Lois Lane, no other actress could top her. Lois Lane is a lady that is always aggressive and she’s one tough lady. She’ll do anything to get an article or photos for the Daily Planet newspaper no matter how dangerous things are. Anne Hathaway doesn’t fit. She’s not aggressive and mean enough. Lois Lane is supposed to be like that. Plus, Lois Lane isn’t supposed to be all that sexy and beautiful.

I’d go for actresses such as Michelle Williams, Scarlett Johannson or Hillary Swank. Lois needs to be played by an actress with talent.

I think it would be cool if Margot Kidder herself, made a cameo appearance in the new “Superman” movie Zack Snyder is doing. Maybe not her as Lois Lane, but a small role for Margot. Yes, Margot is still alive and well.

I also hope that new rumored Superman plot, where Clark goes to West Africa is a complete lie. If the West Africa plot is true, then the plot will suck. It should be taken place in Metropolis. No Smallville stuff ’cause we’ve seen enough of that already. I’m sure Zack and Chris won’t disappoint us with the plot. It’s interesting to me how they are keeping quiet on everything. I’m patiently waiting to hear more about Superman. Who’s going to play Superman and other cast members. I need to know the plot, who the villains will be. We’ll know all that stuff soon. Hope they don’t make us wait long.

Report: I’ve been saying this all along, “Superman” actor will be an unknown and not a big name!!

Leave a comment

Well Chris Nolan, keeps himself busy with both “Dark Knight: Rises” and Snyder’s “Superman”! You know, all you Superman fans out there naming all of these big name stars is just a waste of time. I’ve been saying the whole time that Superman will possibly be an unknown actor. That’s what WB’s and Chris Nolan are going for. They are not going for Jon Hamm, Brandon Routh, Tom Welling, Armie Hammer and all those other popular names that will be listed.

All the Superman actors from the past: George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, etc. They were all unknowns. I’m glad Chris is staying true to this. WB’s and Chris Nolan plan on going for an actor with no acting experience at all or lesser known TV actors. It’s a smart move, in my opinion.

See the story here at, Deadline.

It’s okay to pick big name stars for Lois, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, etc., but Superman/Clark Kent can’t be a big name. For a good reason too! The Superman film makers are still keeping their mouth shut on the plot and I’m sure we’ll hear something about the plot soon. Hopefully the plot will be different. We already had plenty of this Krypton, Smallville and Metropolis plots, we already know those stories so hope this will be an original story this time around.

Cool Video: Zack Snyder’s “Sucker Punch” trailer, is this what his take on Superman will look like?

Leave a comment

Well Zack Snyder’s new movie, “Sucker Punch” teaser trailer has finally hit the web. In my opinion, it looks okay, nothing I would see in theater though. Looks like a wait for DVD type of thing. The action and story looks interesting, but the thing that doesn’t do it for me is the two leading women in this filim trying to look sexy and tough. Is Zack Snyder a player when it comes to women? You know, Zack seems to have a good eye and seems to be an expert with eye candy when it comes to women in film.

You wonder if Lois Lane and Lana Lang will look all sexy and tough for his version in “Superman”. If you watch the “Sucker Punch” trailer, this might be an example of what his Superman film might be like. Full of CGI and lots of green screen effects and of course, *ahem*, slo mo.

After seeing this trailer, it’s making me a little worried for Chris Nolan and Snyder’s verison of “Superman”. “Superman” will probably ending up being like “300” and “Watchmen”.

Thought: Why do people want Brandon Routh back so bad?

Leave a comment

I look through entertainment movie blogs and message board forums talking about the actor choices for the upcoming new, Superman movie. The most popular picks are Brandon Routh and Jon Hamm. Brandon Routh is the most popular choice, of course. Ya know, I thought, “Superman: Returns” was a pretty good movie, but the only thing is, I never cared for Routh as Superman that much.

The reason people want Routh back is because he’s so similar to Christopher Reeve. Plus everyone wants to see Routh in another Superman movie. Honestly, I would prefer Jon Hamm more than Routh. I said before, I don’t want Routh back. I like Jon Hamm, he’s the better choice, I think.

I know I said this quite a bit, but don’t be surprised that it could be neither Brandon Routh or Jon Hamm as Superman. They could go with Leo Dicaprio due to the success of “Inception” like I said before.

So who would I want to play Superman? Honestly, and here is my 2cents. The Superman role should go to an actor who is not a big name star. In other words, the role should really go to an unknown. Christopher Reeve was an unknown when he came in, so was Brandon Routh. All that stuff with Brandon Routh possibly being considered to come back, all that news is from a UK newspaper, “News of the World”, which are tabloids. So I’m not believing that. The role should go to an unknown. I’m sure Chris and Zack would get a guy for Superman, that we’ve never even heard before. So don’t get all excited that they could get a big name superstar for Superman.
